Your absolutely right mate, and thanks for taking a punt on "seeming a jerk" and saying the honest truth. My diet definitely changed for the worse during that time. Bulking up is a comfort/stress behaviour for sure. And boredom. How those hours indoors seemed to linger if I'm not lost in code or creativity.

But now it's under control again I need to find tricks to keep both the munching and the burn working together. Part of the walking benefit isn't just calorie output, it's the positive mental state that comes with the deal, that makes me not think about food for 8 hours at a time.
